Remember Peter Lackman’s concept back in April last year?

It appears Microsoft like that 3D tiles nature and have patented it.

The implementation is discussed further over at:

It’s not just cubes. The toast notification might become cylindrical.

I think 3D tiles and cubes fit the WP Metro thing. Just take a look at SurfCube and how nicely that handles gestures.

Cheers Peter for the tip!
